NOW Foods L-Carnosine 500mg 50 Veg Capsules

NOW® L-Carnosine supplies 500 mg of carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) in each vegetarian capsule. Carnosine is a dipeptide — a small molecule made of the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine — that concentrates naturally in long-lived tissues such as muscle and nerve cells. It supports muscle vitality and helps protect the integrity of proteins and other cellular structures, in part through its antioxidant activity and its ability to bind reactive compounds. These properties make carnosine of particular interest for supporting healthy aging and cellular resilience.*

Who it's for
